‘Laura’ is a song inspired by another song I wrote as a Jim Morrison obsessed teenager about his school friend, Laura, with whom I walked home from school. Entitled ‘Ship in the Night’, the original song has Laura cast as Thor’s mistress as she battles overcome the heartache and misery she is suffering. ‘Laura’ is me wondering, years later, whether she was ever able to escape the “dark angels” that hounded her during her salad days and find the happiness and love she craved.

‘Laura’ is backed with ‘Sunny Apocalypse’, a quirky reflection on the early part of the Covid pandemic in the form of a disaster movie dream in which Burton and co-star Holliday Grainger find themselves dodging ‘giant globs of Covid raining from the sky’.

Prove Your Love

Dear Rain

Chilled out acoustic rock tune about realising it's time to make a change and leave old baggage behind

Time To Call It

Bombs Over Head-Pablo St.Christian.mp3

My Green Fairy
sugar and absinthe
sun calls me
and now I'm absent
present grows on the window sill  
surrounds my center and a green snake is still
diamond eyes are aiming straight
over the headboard and seals my fate

streak dances,  strikes at my throat
fangs snap in an instant, the artery flows
my eyes wide open. I see as I fall
hieroglyphics on the purple walls!

my green fairy fix point disappears
leave me alone but softly reappears

Do you want to leave me?
well it does nothing
Do you want to need me?
did you say something?

I took the clay and made a vase out of it
never being used, all it would do is sit
I took my time and threw it in the river
my life flowing, going, and i considered

slowly it spreads, ever on my mind
the road it takes .....
between the Gospel and the Tao,
Jesus Christ and Lao,
you know life is now
life is now

ohh, ohh, ohh, ahhohhh

anonymous men mimic success
in which I bet i often what they look for
is not the same

Oh Wanderer to find God!
Ahh! i'm just passing by,  goodbye
Ahh, I'm looking for a reset, so I restart

inside a virus that infects
it is fatal to me

it won't let me sleep
it won't let me breathe

the phallus has wishes to fulfill
so better give up and get emasculated for me now

I'm sitting here on the other side of the dune
buried in my oblivion while God passes camels by the eye
with eyes to the sky

That is slowly consumed and turns orange,
leaving a slice of the moon and it seems that the stars are pins

(here there is one)
silver to keep up the night
(and her brown dress)

that one night whirling your knives
they tore the garment and tied it in your hair
and still you rebel and you still kick the world
while you shine like the Maja on a bed of jewels

I touch you with all senses wide open
and I remain silent but oh how much we loved each other
absolute love!

love that left such a beautiful scar
that together we built a frame
preserved it so well that it continues to hurt
that eternal monument of a love to honor
and I touch you again and play your vinyl skin
on the uproar and the rallies that the future makes
and then I repent!

If you knew my love how much I regret
the moment we left that Absinthe
flourished and it was a matter of moments
that we harbored regrets
on a bed that once knew two lovers
and tired hours like the sleepless nights
I spent to hurt you!
I drowned you among the waves of Absinthe!
